Our Services
Personal Care Homes (PCHs) are residences that provide shelter, meals, supervision and assistance with personal care tasks, typically for older people, or people with physical, mental health, or cognitive disabilities who are unable to care for themselves, but do not need nursing home or medical care and prefer to reside in a community atmosphere that allows independence.
